Co je to
Guarana (Paullinia cupana) je plíživý keř, který se klonuje ke stromům, růst do výšek více než 36 nohy. Je nativní pro brazilskou Amazonii; zejména oblasti Parintínů a Manaus. [3]
Tyto rostliny vyvíjejí malé, kola, ovoce červené/hnědé obsahující Černá semena. Semena jsou obklopena bílými arily.
Semena záruky jsou obvykle pražená a rozemletá na prášek pro použití v tradiční výrobě nápojů a potravin. [3] Toto byliny se také tradičně používá jako lék, nejčastěji jako stimulant.
Prozkoumejte stavy, že je v ní uvedeno několik sloučenin xanthinu, například kofeinu. Semena obsahují také fenolové sloučeniny, jako jsou taniny, katechiny, a procyanidiny. [1]
Tyto účinné chemikálie byly zkoumány jednotlivě a jejich účinky jsou dobře chápány. Nicméně, existuje omezený výzkum jejich synergických účinků. K určení přesných mechanismů činnosti je třeba ještě více výzkumu. [1]
Databáze rostlin Raintree Tropical (RTPD) uvádí, že xanthiny v záruční oblasti jsou alkaloidy včetně kofeinu, Theobrominu, a theofylinu. [3]
Ve studiích u lidí, teofočar se ukázalo, že stimuluje srdeční svaly a centrální nervový systém (CNS), a snížit únavu a zvýšit duševní ostražitost. [3]
RTPD uvádí, že společnost záruk také obsahuje různé další fytonutrienty zájmu pro výzkumné pracovníky, včetně:
- Bílkoviny
- Pryskyřice
- Glukózy v krvi
- Škrobu
- Katechiny
- Třísloviny
- Sacharosy
- Kyselina salicylová
- Kyselina nikotinová
- Sliz [3]
V závislosti na zdroji, u záruky se říká, že obsahuje mezi 2-10 times the caffeine generally contained in coffee beans. [1, 2, 6][7]
Most of the proposed health benefits of consuming this plant are attributed to its caffeine content.
Some of the known mechanisms of caffeine include stimulating the CNS, slowing down blood platelet aggregation, elevating blood glucose levels, facilitating fat loss, increasing cardiac activity, raising blood pressure, increasing urine production, and stimulating skeletal muscles. [7]
Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) states that in in vitro (kultivované buňky) a studie na zvířatech, guarana was shown to have an antioxidant effect and inhibited the peroxidation of lipid molecules.
Long-term exposure to the seed extract also has an anxiolytic (Anti-úzkost) effect which was mediated by the dopamine and serotonin neurotransmitter systems. [7]
MSKCC states that theophylline in guarana extract also dilates bronchial tubes and help to improve asthma symptoms. Theobromine has similar effects to theophylline. [7]
Tradiční medicína používá
Jesuit missionaries in the Amazon noticed that native tribesmen consumed guarana seeds to give them energy while on long hunting trips or when fasting for extended periods.
The missionaries brought the seeds back to their home countries and this product has been gaining worldwide popularity since then. [4]
Traditional uses for the seeds included increasing libido as an aphrodisiac, improving tolerance to dietary restrictions, and protecting against dysentery and malaria. [5]
Caffeine was identified in guarana in 1840. Od 1880-1910, it was listed in the US Pharmacopeia. [5]
In Brazil, drinks containing guarana are consumed more than any other beverage except Coca-Cola. Like other caffeine-containing drinks, some people mix it with alcohol to intensify the intoxicating effects. [5]
This ingredient is found in more than 100 beverages around the world, most commonly soft drinks and energy drinks. Some popular brand names include Mountain Dew MDX, AMP, Monster, Jolt, and Rip It energy drinks. [2]
Komplexní databáze přírodní léky (NMCD) states that guarana supplements are used orally (ústy) pro:
- Chronický únavový syndrom (CFS)
- Zvyšuje sportovní výkon

Výhody pro zdraví
The purported health benefits of guarana are based in traditional medicine practices. It is also used as a natural source or caffeine.
V současné době, human research into the effects of this plant extract are limited. While the active constituents found in this plant are well-researched, guarana extract itself has not been studied extensively.
There have been some promising results from clinical research studies using this supplement for anxiety, chemoterapie související únava, kognitivní výkon, exercise tolerance, and obesity/weight loss.
These studies are limited in number and more research is needed to determine the therapeutic efficacy of guarana for these and other uses.
Kognitivní výkon
Guarana is commonly taken to enhance cognitive performance, paměť, a reakční doba. It is frequently added to nootropic stacks as a source of caffeine.
Clinical research has found benefits, but there have been some conflicting results seen in other trials.
Preliminary clinical evidence from one study suggests that, u zdravých lidí, 75 mg guarana can increase cognitive task performance speed, ve srovnání s placebem, za jak dlouho 6 hodin. V této studii, the extract used contained 11-12% kofein. [6]
V jiné studii, 500 mg guarana powder (2.1-2.5% kofein) did not improve cognitive function, relative to a placebo in middle-aged or elderly adults. [6]
Guarana has also been studied for its effects on brain performance in conjunction with other ingredients such as vitamin B, vitamín C, and various minerals.
V jedné studii, it was found to decrease mental fatigue and increase visual information speed and accuracy. [6]
V jiné studii, a combination supplement with gaurana improved working memory and attention compared to both a placebo and a control that contained just the vitamins and minerals. [6]
Dr. Joseph Mercola says that this supplement contains several stimulants, včetně kofeinu, that work together to keep you more alert for hours.
Podle Dr.. Mercola, “guarana slowly releases the caffeine into your system, allowing you to feel the effects over a longer period of time compared to coffee.” [4]
These clinical trials are limited, and more research is needed to determine if and how guarana can support cognitive function.
Úbytek váhy a obezita
Guarana may support weight loss and make it easier to maintain a healthy weight. This plant contains the stimulant caffeine which increases metabolic activity.
Some clinical research on the effects of guarana for weight loss in overweight patients has shown positive results.
Podle Dr.. Mercola, “Since caffeine is considered to be a stimulant, your alertness and physical performance improve. This requires more energy to burn, and guarana works by mobilizing the stored fats and glucose in your body and using them as fuel, což zase, can help you lose weight.” [4]
Dr. Mercola also says that this supplement may promote muscle recovery after physical exertion. It may work by preventing lactic acid accumulations that contribute to muscle soreness. [4]
The NMCD states that guarana, taken along with damiana and yerba mate, has been observed in clinical research to cause some weight loss in overweight patients compared to a placebo. [6]
Some other preliminary evidence suggests that a specific product, called Metabolife-356, might help with weight loss efforts. When used along with a healthy diet and daily exercise, this product helped to facilitate a 5.95-pound weight reduction over an 8-week period. [6]
Nicméně, Metabolife-356 contains various other ingredients besides guarana including ephedra and 17 additional vitamins, minerals and nutrients. [6]
It is not known how effective guarana is on its own for obesity and weight loss. To promote long-term weight management, it is important to adopt a healthy diet and exercise regimen as well.
Rovnováha úzkosti a nálady
Guarana has long been used to promote mental well-being, improve resistance to emotional stress and alleviate tiredness.
The NMCD reports that a specific guarana-containing product reduced the severity of anxiety in some patients with adjustment disorder with anxious mood. [6]
The product studied in this clinical trial is Euphytose. It contains various other ingredients as well including valerian, hawthorn, kolový ořech, black horehound and passionflower.
Taking two tablets three times daily for 28 days was shown to reduce anxiety. Nicméně, it cannot be said that guarana alone would have the same effects. [6]
More research is required in order to determine whether this supplement works on its own to reduce feelings of anxiety.

According to the RTPD, “Manufacturers buying guaraná extracts and standardized extracts should demand assays that show not only the caffeine content – but the theobromine and theophylline content as well. This will determine if the actual seed was concentrated into an extract.” [3]
It is recommended to do your research thoroughly on any supplements you are considering. Contact manufacturers and ask for Certificates of Analysis (CERTIFIKÁT PRAVOSTI) to help confirm the supplements contain guarana.
